The story of yesterday includes delightful skinnydipping in rather cold water that did not diminish the obvious attraction that the body of one Brady felt for that of Jean. She giggled inwardly. He, having a total lack of bodyfat, shivered and shivered when he got out of the water. Taking pity (and inwardly delighting), she warmed him fulllengthily

Sometimes you can't avoid hurting people Jean. The hurting is not due to your part, but it can be attested to the nature of that person. Most people, I find, want things either one way or the other, with no inbetween or balance. I guess they think that if they can't be loved fully by you, have your full attention, they would rather drive themself nuts over you because they can't have you. I think this is because they don't understand that there is a sort of middle ground or they simply don't want it. I of course, am not one of those people.

That night when I told you that I liked you (like, LIKED). You had kindly discouraged my efforts to make us more than friends. I sincerely thank you for that. You had quite likely saved my sanity ;) Granted, it took me a little while, but I'm pretty sure I found that middle ground.

As for attempting to avoid hurting others, just remember. A little Jean goes a long way. Try giving new boys you meet little does of Jean, I'm sure they would still end up LIKING you.

Rock out ninjette, Ian

I'll probably end up repeating what messerschmitt said, but to reinforce the point:

"Middle ground" can be a delightful thing. But as was rightfully pointed out, many people can't really deal with that. It tends to frustrate them. And many of those who can deal need quite some time for it. (I know, I've been there, too.)

As for avoiding hurt, I can also just concur that it might be a good idea not to go in full tilt, because that may lead people to expect more than you are actually willing to give. A slower approach might work better.

For Ian and Jean

Jean is the kind of person that is always liked... and if n ot right away will be shortly after. She attracts many people and though never turns them away is always clear about where things are. Jean is a flirt, and a bit of a tease but always honest. And I recall helping several a boy out of the jean delemia.

Jean is a person I love... and a person who makes me glad I am not a boy:)

I'm probably not the one you'd want advice from on this one :)

How you can avoid hurting boys

[abbajen]

There's this thing I do, right? I meet a boy, and I am my most Jean ever until I find out that he likes me (like, LIKES me). At that point, I go PHEW inwardly and start to discourage overmuch attachment.

That is not cool. Not even a little. That is the bitchiest, meanest thing ever. Just be nice and not shun people. Who the fuck cares who likes you? If they like you, continue to act nice, if not, then still act nice. Whatever.

According to Ricki, (not Rikki), you also break the Friendship Code. I'm sure you realize this.

That thing you do

[thedude623]

I have seen that thing you do...
My friend started to like you (like, LIKE you) and he mentioned this fact to you, and he was a little dissappointed. I was figuring that it was a one-time thing that was because he lived in Akron, OH, and you, well, didnt.

Then a different time, (not sure if before or after) I saw a similar situation.

I realized that guys like Jean, I must admit that I myself had a thing for Jean at one time, Because she is unique, very fun-loving, and, as pointed out above, somewhat of a flirt.

I dont know how I didnt like her (like, LIKE her) I think it was the circumstances of our meeting, and our friendship.

Please mind not what I say, I just speak in observations...
